Verses

The
Spirit of the Lord came mightily upon
Samson,
and
the ropes that were on his arms
became
like flax that is burned with fire,
and
his bonds broke loose from his hands.
Samson
found a fresh jawbone of a donkey,
reached
out his hand and took it,
and
killed a thousand Philistine men with it.
Then
Samson became very thirsty.
So
Samson cried out ( prayed ) to the
Lord.
So God
split the hollow place that is in Lehi,
and
water came out, and he drank,
and
his spirit returned, and he revived.

Delilah
lulled Samson to sleep on her knees, and called for a man and had him
shave off the seven locks of his head. Then she began to torment him,
and his strength left Samson.
And
Delilah said, “The Philistines are upon you, Samson!” So Samson
awoke from his sleep, and said, “I will go out as before, at other
times, and shake myself free!” But Samson did not know that the
Lord had departed from him.

Then
Samson called to the Lord, saying, “O Lord God, remember me, I
pray! Strengthen me, I pray, just this
once, O God, that I may with one blow take vengeance on the
Philistines for my two eyes!”
And
Samson took hold of the two middle pillars which supported the
temple, and he braced himself against them, one on his right and the
other on his left.
Then
Samson said, “Let me die with the Philistines!” And he pushed
with all his might, and the temple fell on the lords and all the
people who were in it. So the dead that he killed at his death were
more than he had killed in his life.
